Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 361 Accidentally set another record

Li Zhan and Tang Leile never appeared on Vasily's radar screen from beginning to end. Not only that, all the radars on the ground failed to detect the two fighters they were driving. The latter is not surprising. In the past, when such a situation occurred, everyone would be nervous for a while. For example, at Radar Station No. 27, after Li Zhan attacked them, the Falcon Brigade began to engage in high-intensity low-altitude penetration training, until low-altitude penetration became the core of the Falcon Brigade. It is a famous trick. The ground radar troops are not surprised that fighter planes at the Beiku Field Station often disappear.

Of course, this assumes that radio contact is not interrupted.

Most of the Russian pilots could not understand the Chinese internal radio exchanges, and during joint communications both sides used standard tactical English. When Vasily knew that Li Zhan not only took off but also penetrated into the mountains at low altitude, what did he do? It's hard to believe.

Although the Su-35 fighter he is flying is assisted by an advanced combat decision-making system, it cannot and will not be connected to the port of the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Center. He can only obtain the latest weather conditions through the tower. The result is that the low-altitude weather conditions have greatly exceeded the lowest combat weather they can understand, and it is still a mountainous area.

Vasily knew very well that it was not easy to avoid the detection of the Su-35 fighter's new airborne radar. At least he did not believe that Li Zhan's two-plane formation had entered the canyons of the Beiku Mountains - such weather conditions in mountain canyons There is no big difference between traveling at low altitude and seeking death.

Visibility is less than five kilometers. For a fighter aircraft with an airspeed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, the distance of five kilometers is a blink of an eye. It not only requires the pilot to have extremely fast reaction capabilities, but also puts great pressure on the performance of the fighter aircraft. requirements.

But is it really that difficult?

The way Li Zhan and Tang Leilei were so familiar with the road at this time would surprise Vasily and others. Low visibility is not a problem, and complicated airflow is not a problem, because we are very familiar with the canyons of the Beiku Mountains - we can fly there with our eyes closed.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of falcon brigade crossings through the canyons of the Beiku Mountains has exceeded 1,300 so far, and the number of crossings per capita is more than 40. The higher the backbone, the more times it will be crossed. The Beiku Mountains are the main training area for the Falcon Brigade, and the Beiku Canyon, which is more than 50 kilometers long, is a key training area.

Just like the five-kilometer armed cross-country route that the infantry unit explores and develops in the wild, the more than 50 kilometers long Beiku Canyon is the "five-kilometer armed cross-country" for the pilots of the Falcon Brigade and even the 101st Brigade. It is the hardest training subject among all subjects.

Over time, a standard has been formed - judging heroes by the performance of crossing the Beiku Canyon.

Back then, the J-7B fighter was able to achieve good results in the Beikku Canyon under low weather conditions. The J-7E behind it, which had better low-altitude flight performance, even evaded two batches of four missiles from Camp Doyle. Attack, this situation is not even as difficult for Li Zhan as taking off just now.

Tang Leilei is also a good player. They have conducted low-altitude penetration training through the Beiku Canyon many times under weather conditions with worse visibility than now.

Several air security departments at Radar Station No. 27 were unable to search throughout the entire process.

Traveling through the canyon at an airspeed of more than 300 kilometers per hour, the two fighter planes drew a flight path with many twists and turns. Their minimum flight altitude reached more than 20 meters, and if they tilted slightly, their wingtips would poke into the mountains.

High-altitude simulated combat was in full swing. In order to ensure nothing went wrong, altitude difference air combat drills were used. Therefore, the only interesting thing was the low-altitude penetration of the strike team. It is precisely that the strike team has gone to the extreme, completely breaking away from the detection of air-ground radar, so that neither the tower nor Vasily, who simulated the Blue Army, could grasp the traces of the strike team, and there was no way to know how they knew it.

When the tower reported that the strike team had successfully completed the strike mission and returned to the field to land, Vasily and his comrades were still in a state of confusion - why did it end?

Did the Chinaman commit fraud?

No matter what, the weather changed drastically when Vasily and others landed, from dark clouds and heavy rain to fog and sunshine. It was still windy and raining heavily when Li Zhan and Tang Leile landed. Ten minutes later, when Vasily and others landed, it was calm and rainy. It was really dumbfounding.

After the fighter plane returned to its position, Li Zhan stood on the edge of the apron with his flight helmet in hand, waiting with a smile for Vasily to stride over impatiently after he got off the Su-35.

"Zhan, how did you do it? I believe you took off and performed the mission. But how did you do it? The meteorological conditions in the Beikushan Mountains have exceeded the minimum allowable value. You cannot do it under such circumstances. It was not detected by the radar at all." Vasily said contradictoryly and quickly.

Li Zhan glanced at Tang Leilei next to him and said with a smile, "Colonel, we are very familiar with the Beiku Canyon, very, very familiar with it. In fact, it is our daily training route. We often conduct training through the canyon at night, and the visibility is not Problems, and our J-11B has better engines and avionics systems. With the assistance of accurate terrain data and flight data correction systems, the difficulties we encountered were not too many."

"Terrain data and flight data correction system..." Vasily muttered this obviously made-up professional phrase in a low voice.

Li Zhan smiled and changed the subject and said, "Colonel Vasily, the flight parameters will be available in the evening and afternoon. We can conduct analysis and discussion at that time. We very much hope to learn from you on issues related to combat under severe weather conditions."

"Brother First, the reporter is here." Tang Leilei shook his head and looked at it, then whispered.

Li Zhan apologized to Vasily and said to Tang Leile, "You deal with them, I will withdraw first."

"clear."

Li Zhan strode away with his flight helmet in hand. After bypassing several fighter planes, Pei Lei drove over to pick him up. After getting in the car, he went straight to the infield, avoiding interviews with reporters. Military exchanges and collaborative training with foreign armies are small in scale but very important, and the 7 o'clock news bulletin is inevitable.

It's just that Li Zhan still hasn't come out yet.

After returning to the infield and disarming himself, Li Zhan ran to the canteen for a meal and then went directly to the flying parameter interpretation room. The new fighter jet exported flight parameters very quickly. The flight parameter data had been sent from the field before Li Zhan arrived, and the technical staff started working immediately. In the afternoon, both parties will conduct analysis and discussion, and the interpretation of flying parameter data is an important basis for discussion.

Li Zhan was sitting in the office of Section Chief Liu of the Aviation Technology Department, waiting.

Section Chief Liu was a college student in the 1980s, with a very strong reputation. He was a man in his forties with the rank of senior colonel and deputy division chief, but his position was only that of a junior section chief. The Air Force aviation force is a highly technical branch of the military, and most of the many officers have not yet held their positions.

Some infantry brigades have three division-level officers. In addition to the brigade commander and political commissar, the third officer is the director of the brigade hospital. There are many division-level cadres in the 101st Brigade, but only a few have positions.

"Xiao Li, do you want to watch the video of your takeoff?" Section Chief Liu poured a cup of tea for Li Zhan and then lit a cigarette.

Li Zhan took Section Chief Liu's Lanzhou and lit it without any courtesy. He took a sip and felt a little dizzy, and said, "Look, look, I almost couldn't fly."

Just follow Section Chief Liu to the computer monitor on the desk. Section Chief Liu opened the video captured by the high-definition camera installed on the tower and said with a smile, "You have created another record. Then The weather conditions for ten minutes were absolutely prohibitive for flying, and you really flew."

Li Zhan watched carefully.

His No. 01 J-11B was staggering like a man who had drunk three and a half kilograms of 63% alcohol. The nose of the No. 01 J-11B was heading northeast at an altitude of more than ten meters above the runway, but it was flying due north. When people look at it, they have the urge to rush over and hold on to the runway.

Suddenly a strong crosswind struck, and the fighter plane tilted to the left wing like a small boat encountering level 12 sea conditions. The angle instantly exceeded 30 degrees and it was about to break through the flight envelope and fall, but it seemed to be supported by strong arms. The same thing is that the worst outcome did not occur.

The final scene is that the No. 01 J-11B followed the trend and climbed away, leaving only a handsome afterimage gradually fading in the hazy sky.

Sitting in the cockpit is one feeling, and looking at it from an external perspective is another feeling. After seeing it, Li Zhan couldn't help but hold his breath and concentrate with his heart high. Just like a car speeding on a mountain road, one side is surrounded by a cliff and the other side is a cliff. The road has nine twists and turns, and it can accommodate a car. The excitement of driving is so exciting that the driver is so scared that he wants to urinate three times an hour. .

"What a thrill!" Li Zhan exclaimed.

Section Chief Liu sighed and said, "Since you came, our bottom line has been continuously lowered, and it has exceeded the minimum requirements of the syllabus."

"Liu Ke, what you said is that only by constantly pushing the limits can we make progress. But today's weather really scares me into a cold sweat." Li Zhan said honestly.

Section Chief Liu said, "The new brigade commander is quite courageous."

If it were anyone else, the situation at that time would definitely have caused Li Zhan to postpone the takeoff or simply cancel it. But not Fang Chenghe. He was a front-line pilot and served as squadron leader, group leader, regiment chief of staff, deputy regiment leader, regiment leader, training base chief of staff, and division chief of staff. Halfway through, he switched to politics and became a division political commissar. , Jingping was transferred to serve as brigade commander in two or three years. Throughout his resume, he was related to flying and combat, and he was a veritable military cadre.

Sitting in the cockpit of No. 01 J-11B was Li Zhan, so Fang Chenghe did not hesitate at all and insisted on showing his skills to the idiots, and he firmly believed that Li Zhan could do it because Li Zhan said he could.

What Li Zhan said he could do has never been broken so far.

This is the strong sense of trust that Fang Chenghe formed based on his full understanding of Li Zhan. It would never be possible for another person, not even the sacrificed Xue Xiangdong, to give Li Zhan complete trust.

Li Zhan said, "Brigadier Fang is also a ruthless person. Everyone heard that he was a political commissar in the Second Division and thought he was a political cadre. In fact, Brigadier Fang's military combat command experience and flight experience are all under the command of the commander of the Second Division. Above Hong, the serious Lao Fei is here."

"Oh? So that's it." Section Chief Liu obviously didn't know that the speed at which they received gossip while they were sitting indoors doing technical analysis every day was slower than others.

"Section Chief, the results are out. They belong to Captain Li and his friends." A captain wearing glasses came over to read the results and greeted Li Zhan with a smile.

Li Zhan often goes to the Fei Shen Interpretation Room and has become familiar with the people here.

Section Chief Liu browsed through it with a cigarette in his mouth and handed it to Li Zhan, "It's not much different from the last time, less than a minute, but after a comprehensive analysis, I can confirm that you have achieved a new standard."

It seems that everyone has become accustomed to such things, or has become numb. Going back two years, whether in the regiment or the division, let alone exceeding the standard of twice the syllabus, even if we set the excellent standard of the syllabus, we will at least give the regiment or even the division a commendation.

But now, the standard of excellence stipulated in the Flying Out Outline is the basic one. If you want awards or meritorious service, you must have a higher standard. For example, in ground target shooting, only if you can hit all the shells into the target circle will you have bragging rights, and this standard is already twice the excellence standard required by the syllabus.

After Li Zhan looked at the results, he frowned and said, "It's just a few dozen seconds faster. It's not considered a new standard."

"You have to factor in meteorological factors." Section Chief Liu handed Li Zhan the weather data from the meteorological station and said, "The weather in Beiku Canyon is the worst since so many times of flying through it. This kind of Under such circumstances, you can still be 47 seconds faster than your previous best time, which is a very good result.”

It’s talking about the flight time from entering the canyon to leaving the canyon. The environment of the canyon requires very strict development. You can't just fly as fast as you want. When Li Zhan launched the J-7E to formulate subject standards, he did extreme flying. However, after modifying the Su-27, the extreme data that he flew at great risk was easily exceeded by the Su-27.

Today Li Zhan shortened his time by 47 seconds on this basis.

Forty-seven seconds is of great significance. It means that in combat, an attack can be launched forty-seven seconds earlier, which gives an extra forty-seven seconds of active time. In modern air combat, where minutes are the unit of measurement, forty-seven seconds may be the time that affects the outcome of a battle.

"Where's Tang Leilei's? He's just a few kilometers behind me, very close." Li Zhan asked.

The technical captain said, "Squadron Tang's data is also very good, only fifteen seconds slower than you."

This time Li Zhan was happy, "That means most of the people in my team can meet this standard."

The people here in the flight parameter interpretation room know best how capable the pilots of the Falcon Brigade are. They interpret and analyze the flight parameters of the Falcon Brigade every three to five. From the beginning to the present, the flight parameters paint a picture of the growth of the Falcon Brigade. The data chart is a shocking data display chart that continuously strives towards the limits of man and machine.

Therefore, they are also the least surprised by the outstanding performance of the Falcon Brigade, because everything is traceable.

"Are you satisfied? You can brag to the Russians." Section Chief Liu smiled.

Li Zhan said with a smile, "I really don't care much about their feelings, and I'm not willing to expose our true combat effectiveness to foreign troops."

After being stunned for a moment, Section Chief Liu suddenly slapped his head and said, "I'm so stupid with technology."

Li Zhan chuckled and handed the report to Chief Liu, "The report will be discussed and analyzed at the meeting, so, Liu Ke, please give another report that is more appropriate according to the outline standards."

Section Chief Liu instantly understood what Li Zhan meant, and immediately laughed, "Take care of me."

This was the reason why Li Zhan hurriedly ran to the interpretation room.
